Don't forget this free park when you go to Xiamen. This is the landmark of this city. Feeding pigeons is very famous.

Xiamen has many tourist attractions, such as Gulangyu Island and Nanputuo Temple, which are famous all over the country. When I was in Xiamen, I ran for four days just to see the scenic spots. Among them, one park is often forgotten by tourists, but it has special significance for Xiamen. It's Bailuzhou Park.

Egret is the city bird of Xiamen, which came to this island earlier than human beings. When Xiamen people boarded this uninhabited island in the early days, they saw flocks of egrets floating on the water, so they were named "Egret Island". In Xiamen, streets and shops in the name of "heron" abound, and light heron has become a beautiful wish of Xiamen people.

The most famous park is the Egret Statue, which is now a city landmark in Xiamen. The egret statue is located in the East Garden. On the boulder, there is a woman with long hair with a beautiful face. She knelt on the lake and washed her hair with water. An egret perched on her shoulder. The woman looked back at the egret and smiled.

Women mean nurturing and living, egrets mean beauty, and the whole statue gives people a sense of harmony and peace. I think the city of Xiamen will be as full of vigor and vitality as a statue.

Bailuzhou Park is located in Yundang Lake. The word Yundang is pronounced as "yún dāng", which means bamboo growing by the water. Yundang Lake was originally connected with the sea. In 1970s, land was reclaimed from the sea, and the west embankment from Fuyu Island to Du Dong was built. Since then, Yaodang Lake has become an inner lake, named Bailuzhou.

Yaodang Lake is extremely clear, with a water area of 1.7 square kilometers. On a sunny day, the lake is golden, without a ripple. The whole lake is like a gem worth tens of millions, emitting suffocating blue. Isn't this blue the representative color of Xiamen? Romantic, quiet and full of vitality, once a remote and barren island, Xiamen, now a world-famous tourist city, has already completed its transformation.

Bailuzhou Park is divided into two parts by the road. Dongyuan is a music fountain square, and next to the square is a green and tall greenway. The carefully built gardens make people wonder whether they are from abroad.

Whenever night falls, the music fountain begins to perform. Gorgeous lights and dancing springs have attracted many people to watch and become a landscape in Xiamen. Once upon a time, the night view of Yundang Lake was also beautiful. On the moonlit night, fishing boats returned to Hong Kong with full loads and lined up on the shore. A leaf boat, reflected in the water, swaying away, sparkling, gravel, this is "night."

After the completion of the west levee, the fishing fire disappeared, and the once bright and flashing night became a touch of warmth in people's memory.

The West Garden is large, with egret statue and pigeon square as the center, free and open, and elegant environment. Egret statue is13.6m high. After many tourists arrive in Xiamen, they will make a special trip to take photos with the goddess before coming to Xiamen.

Pigeon Square is a must. Feeding pigeons has become a famous experience in Xiamen. This batch of pigeons was introduced from Holland, with 400 pigeons. They are very courageous and are not afraid of people at all. Many tourists come to feed you every day. They will jump in front of you and eat your food with their mouths.

On that day, many parents took their children, and the children staggered towards the pigeons, but the pigeons did not panic and quietly held the food on the grass. This painting is very beautiful. The harmony between children and pigeons represents the harmony between man and nature, which is beautiful and warm. Isn't that what the egret goddess wants to express?

There are many scenic spots in the park, such as the heart-to-heart statue of mother and son, the cultural relics museum, and the whole Egret Island is the epitome of Xiamen for hundreds of years, with history, culture and, of course, a dazzling future.

There are many flowers, green grass, bees and butterflies flying, birds flying, and the environment of Bailuzhou Park is also first-class. If you go to Xiamen, don't forget this free park and take a walk to better understand this beautiful "Heron City".
